George H.W. Bush says NO THANKS to the Clintons
It looks like the would-be "co-presidency" is off to a very sour start.

And a P.R. nightmare.


George H.W. Bush says NO THANKS to the Clintons

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former President George H.W. Bush has shot down his successor Bill Clinton’s idea of a diplomatic mission under a Hillary Clinton presidency that would send him and other notables abroad to assure other nations that “America is open for business and cooperation again.”

The move came one day after Bill Clinton made the suggestion on the campaign trail in South Carolina, in response to a question from a supporter about his wife’s “number-one priority” upon reaching the White House.

In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.

“President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for president, and looks forward to discussing their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.”

Way to go Bill! If he's going to lie about this type of thing he should at least do his best to ensure the person he's talking about is a Hillary supporter.

BTW the rebublicans are going to have a hay day with this.

It will be huge, for sure.

The new Clinton "co-presidency" is off to a crash landing.

I think it's now safe to say that having Bill on board is a real backfire on the campaign trail.

Everything he says leads to an explosion.

I'll say it until someone can prove me wrong. Bill is actively trying to ruin Hillary's chances at winning the Whitehouse.

That or he's forgotten something important about how to campaign effectively.

Someone today mentioned that the whole statement he made started and ended as being about Bill Clinton, which implied Bill just being Bill.
